When to Choose the Standard Model Y

For up to 4 people and up to 4 large + 2 small suitcases, mostly around LA plus short trips (San Diego, Big Bear, Joshua Tree), the standard Model Y is the best value: easier to maneuver, a friendlier daily rate, and plenty for families and couples.

When to Choose the Model Y L (Long-Wheelbase)

For 5–6 adults, multi-generational trips (grandparents + parents + kids) or airport group pickups, the Model Y L's six individual seats and longer wheelbase let adults sit comfortably in both the 2nd and 3rd rows; with the 3rd row folded it still fits 6 large suitcases, easy for Las Vegas, Yosemite or Santa Barbara. It's the family pick in ourSUV category.

Both Come with FSD (Supervised)
